Question

What is the distance between the two pointsJ(-10,5) and K(-22,1)?

Answer 1

`D= 12.64`

Explanation:

Here we are given with two coordinates and asked to determine the distance between them.

Here we are going to use the distance formula, which is given as under

`D=√((y_2-y_1)^2+(x_2-x_1)^2)`

Where

`(x_1,y_1) = (-10,5)`

`(x_2,y_2) = (-22,1)`

Replacing these values in the distance formula

`D =√((1-5)^2+(-22-(-10))^2)`

`D =√((-4)^2+(-12)^2)`

`D =√(16+144)`

`D =√(160)`

`D= 12.64`

Hence the Distance is 12.640 units
